I'm a lucky lucky girl to have had such an amazing 31st year. As I move into my 32nd I can't help but look back at all I did with: fond memories, lessons learned, and blissful discoveries. If you were a part of my year last year thanks for making it great!

Haunted cemetary tours in New Orleans, Street Music, and having an entire courtyard sing "You are my Sunshine" to me because I was wearing a little miss sunshine shirt.

Too many margaritas with salt on the rim, and crazy nights under the big top....

Cutting my own ice core at the National Ice Core Lab.

Learning to find inner peace with the Dalai Lama ....

And monkeying around with Jane Goodall

Building snowmen in 5 ft of snow....

Cuddling with Amanda Palmer and then watching her kill the "Everybody Knows" cover...

Flights to places I've been.... and new places too...

Dancing with sparklers in the rain and finding magical abandoned lakes in the sky....

haunted tours of old mining towns .... and making too many halloween themed desserts
